Hey, that is impressive. Too bad it doesn't work at all on my Palm IIIx
(OS3.5.2). It looks neat in the emulator, even if it is rather crashy.
The code's all in one big .c file at the moment, so it's hard to tell
how feasible it would be to split the outline widget off into a library.

Of course, the implied conclusion to the previous thought is that a more
general solution would be hard. Especially if the task management stuff
is in a separate module and not in the core.

A patent on what, exactly? Does it effect clients, servers, or both?
